SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 285,577, datedSeptember 25., 1883.

Application filed August 24, 1882. Renewed August 23, 1883. (ModeL) 4 Toall whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, THOMAS J. CORR, of Eureka Springs, in the county ofCarroll, and in the State of Arkansas, have invented certain new anduseful Improvements in a Combined Flour- Chest and Cupboard; and I dohereby declare that the following isa full, clear, and exact descriptionthereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to theletters of reference marked thereon, making apartof this specification.

This invention relates to an improved combined flour-chest and cupboard;and it has for its objects to combine in a single chest and cupboard allthe various receptacles for the various articles. required in themanufacture of bread, and. the said objects I attain by 'the meansillustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 representsa front View of my improved chest and cupboard, showing the same partlyopen. Fig. 2 represents a transverse vertical section of the same, andFig. 3 represents a detached perspective view of a portion of theflour-sifting device. Fig. 4 represents a perspective view, showing thesegmental recesses and the boxes partly removed from the The letter Aindicates the main body of my improved chest, and B the cupboard, whichforms the upper part of the device. The body A is mounted upon legs C,and below it is ar ranged a drawer, D, which slides in ways E, attachedto the bottom. The interior of the body A is divided into any number ofbins or receptacles for breadstuffs, and at its front is formed a narrowreceptacle for the kneadingboard, F, which is adapted to be liftedvertically outof such receptacle. The rear of the bodyAis made higherthan the front, and the sides are segmental in front, as indicated, and

the upper front portion of the body, near the sides, is provided withsegmental partitions G, the spaces between which and the sides areadapted to contain removable segmental boxes H, having receptacles I,for spices, salt, or other materials.

Near the back of the body A, in the upper part thereof, is located apartition, K, leaving a space behind it, into which is adapted to sitthe sieve L, which sits in a frame, M, hinged at one corner in anopening, N, in tlie partition, in such manner that the sieve may beswung out over the mixing-tray, when desired, or swung into the recesswhen not' in use. The sieve has journaled in it a rotaryagitating-frame, I which is turned by a crank, Q. The front of the frameM is provided with hooks R for the rolling-pin S, and the partition Kwith hooks for the utensils L. The mixing-trayF rests at one side inagroove near the lower edge of the partition K and at the other side uponthe top of theinner front wall of the body A, and is adapted to slidelaterally back and fortl1,for convenience inreaching the bins orreceptacles below, the upper edge of the kneading-board serving toconfine the tray to its seat when in place.

To the upper forward edge of the main body A is hinged a folding leaf,T, which may be supported in a horizontal position by means of aswinging bracket, U, so asto form aworktable, when desired. The sides ofthe main body A and the segmental partitions are provided with groovesV, in which arearranged to slide the metallic covers W, which may bemoved back under the cupboard to open the lower portion of the chest.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secureby Letters Patent, 1S.-

In combination with the body of the chest and the segmental sides andpartitions, the series of sliding segmental covers fitting in thesegmental grooves, and each formed of two pieces or sections and havinginterlocking flanges, substantially as shown and described.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature, in presence of two witnesses,this 5th day of August, 1882.
